Gun debate turns to actions of Congress, ATF

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.

"There are already lots of laws out there to 'prevent' violence. As long as there are criminals and the insane, none of them will effectively prevent anything."

- Alex Umrichin (via lohud.com)

"I applaud the leadership shown by Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania on this critical issue. While it's not what many had hoped for and states like New York, Colorado and Connecticut are leading the way, this bill is better than not acting. They and other senators willing to stand up to the bullying of the NRA need our support."

- Randall Wolf (via lohud.com)

"Immediately after 9/11, if we had polled Americans as to whether they wanted to expel Muslims from the U.S. ?, I'd bet that the majority would have agreed. I'd bet that if it had happened today, most Americans would regret this move as we have regretted our internment camps of World War II. Think. Don't just react without logic."

- Tony Francis (via lohud.com)

"This law would not have prevented [Adam] Lanza from getting the guns."

"Obviously the owner had no business handling firearms. And to all those who were previously ranting and raving about this issue being about 'taking our guns away,' I hope you are in agreement (as any sane, responsible gun owner should be) that the revocation of his license was completely warranted and had nothing whatsoever to do with infringing on anyone's Second Amendment rights. Good work, ATF, and those involved in keeping us safe and making people obey the laws."

- Lisette Depew-Kubie (via lohud.com)

"If the ATF had truly been doing their job 'in keeping us safe' they would have done something when the first paperwork violation was noticed during their regular inspections. In typical ATF fashion they made a big scene out of nothing because it would gain them national attention while they are still smarting over the Fast and Furious debacle ? ."

- Steve Gough (via lohud.com)
